The other half of Madreperlato Colonial Blue

[EarlD]

Pen 125 is turned from the other half of a Madreperlato Colonial Blue blank from ExoticBlanks. This is a chrome Coventry with the tube & inside of the blank painted white.

The first pen from this blank was a Le Roi Elegant. I painted tube & inside of the blank painted black. Both pens are shown to illustrate the difference between the white and black on this blank.

Earl, I would be hard pressed to decide which I liked better. Both blanks look great. Both pens look great. My eye is drawn to the Le Roi Elegant, but I think it's a scale thing, not a color thing. You may just have to send them up here for me to inspect closer.

Bobalu, I'll bring them to the Atlanta meeting this Saturday. Hope you can make it.

I'll be looking forward to seeing them.

Very nice pens, Earl. Thanks for showing the difference between colors used on the reverse painting.

That Coventry pen is really appealing to the eye. I usually like pens that use a minimum of plating and a maximum of wood/acrylic, but that Coventry pen is a keeper.

Two more real beauties Earl!
Both look fantastic, and I'm not sure which one I like better either! The Le Roi, no the Coventry..no wait the Le Roi..Ugh! You are making my brain hurt!!:bulgy-eyes:

Earl they are both beautiful pens. My favorite blank is the darker one painted black on the inside, I really love the silver and blue look. I have used that blank on a kit and did not paint the tubes or the blank and I have copper showing through in a couple of places.:redface:

Earl, Both gorgeous pens !! Couldn't make up my mind on which one I like the best. Really appreciate you showing both pens together to illustrate how differences in reverse painting really define the finished pieces. Doc

Both are fantastic. And I think you did the right paint for the right plating.
